I want to use a specific font (Enview) for the banner on my page. I'm a Power user so I think I can do this. I sent SmugMug an email asking how this was done, but the reply doesn't make sense to me. I don't have Photoshop (I use Corel Paint Shop Pro PhotoX2, but if I need to, I can install Photoshop Elements if that would help. How can I replace the standard font supplied (san serif) with the font I want? Thanks

Most people create a graphic to be used as a banner. I suspect that you should be able to do that with Corel Paint Shop Pro.
If you just to use pure text you can do that. I have done that on my site - my banner is text, not a graphic image. If you do that you specify the font using CSS. However, if you want to use a non-standard font (not all fonts are available on all browsers, and the enview font you specified is not in the safe list) you will need to create a graphic and use that as your banner.

Well, I did create it with PrintMaster, then copied as a jpg and inserted it. Only problem is that it's the wrong size. Now I can't figure out how to delete it -- and it went into the "Smug Mug Site Files". I'm trying to figure out how to change it to the size I want, or judt delete that file (not the stuff they say NOT to delete. This is frustrating but I keep taking deep breaths. Maybe I"ll try deleting the file from Windows Documents.
